IAU Symposium 240, held in conjunction with the 26th General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union, highlights the many advances in the field and brings together members of the 'wide' and 'close' binary communities. Topics discussed ranged from common proper motion pairs and other 'fragile' binaries to contact binaries and star/brown-dwarf/planet systems, exploring the numerous interests common to all binary star researchers. The volume is divided into: new observing and reduction techniques, improving calibrations of distance, binaries as critical tests and confronting the needs of observers and theoreticians. This volume will be an important reference source for binary star reseachers for many years to come.
